Will the G5 settle for 1 automatic bid to the highest rank team

or will they want automatic bids for their 5 conference champions too? From a G5 standpoint - if the 5 power conferences get an automatic bid, then I don't see why the 5 mid-major conference shouldn't get the same consideration.

Something the P5s may have to be mindful of if they push too hard to get their way, then the G5s could up the ante for "money games" especially if G5s don't get more than 1 seat in the expanded Playoff. $1 million to a G5 school for a "money game," could suddenly be $2.5 - $4.5 million.
